Zelda is a big contributing factor, but I suspect the core appeal of the Switch is the central innovation of the convertible portable/home hybrid. Not just the idea of "portable you can plug in to you TV", but in the specific details of how they've done it.

Like with the Wii, all the innovation is nothing without games. I still regret buying the Wii, besides Mario and Zelda it was mostly mini-game-collections :\

If BotW is the only game that ever comes out for the Switch, I'd still be satisfied with the purchase.

lolwut?!

botw is worth 300€??

To me, yes. Have played 80 hours thus far taking my time and in no hurry to fully beat the game as there is so much to explore and do. Can easily see myself putting in 120 hours. Say I paid $400 for the Switch and Zelda. $400 / 120 hours of entertainment = $3.33 per hour to play one of the best video games I've ever played. Totally worth it imo, to say nothing of future games I can play on the Switch or the resale value if I wanted to turn around and sell it.
